She certainly was a Communist. She even admitted it.

They held party meetings at her house.

She admitted no such thing. She admitted signing that document, she did not admit to being a communist. Why are you trying to stir up crap? You might want to read a little on U.S. history and you’ll realize that there was no cold war in 1936, and being affiliated with the Communist Party at that time was no big deal, and no threat to anyone. Lucille Ball was not a political person at all and did this in 1936 to calm her eccentric grandfather. The House Un-American Activities Committee investigated her in 1953 and cleared her completely. They found no other involvement by her with the Communist Party. And she devoted much of her time in the 1940s to helping the war effort on behalf of the U.S. Her husband at that time was serving in our military. Ronald Reagan was a close friend of Lucille Ball’s, right up until her death. You know the old sayings, “you can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep” and “guilt by association.” Was Ronald Reagan a communist, too?
